What is Mental Health?

 According to the World Health Organization, mental health can be defined as "a state of well-being in which an individual realizes his/her own abilities, can cope with the normal stresses of life, work productively and fruitfully, and can contribute to their families.

 Mental health revolves around one's ability to think and execute decisions effectively and efficiently. It allows an individual to advance with minimal negative consequences. It encompasses the cognitive aspects of the human mind, such as

• Decision-making

• Problem-solving

• Perception

• Memory

• Visualization

• Judgement formation

• Attention

• Language comprehension

• Learning

Mental health is directly linked to brain activity and functioning. This is affected by factors such as emotions, food, environmental conditions, social situations, diseases, and brain injury. It is therefore important to take care by practicing mental exercises, having good nutrition, avoiding stressful conditions, and protecting the head from injury.
